DIY c-clip

[LittleWatchShop]

I pride myself for having only lost one or two watch parts over the last four years. Including clocks. But I lost a c-clip the other day.

I fabricated one from razor blade material. Using a dremel, I cut a small piece and made a slot in it. Then, using a fine round file, I cut a circle at the end of the slot. Not aesthetic, but it works.

Neat!

For info, scrap CD / DVD drives from old PCs are often a good source of small shafts and clips etc.

I am working in two locations every other week. As luck would have it, a part I need is at the other location. I do ha e some clips at the other place. I wanted to wrap up this clock (my personal clock) so I just fabricated one to get it off the bench!!

I have tons of old electronics...so yeah, that is a treasure trove of screws. Clips and stuff.
